This project was developed to master Data Persistence, demonstrating how to save and load data dynamically both across different game scenes and between entirely separate play sessions.

Key Features Cross-Scene Data Persistence: Utilizes a Singleton pattern (DontDestroyOnLoad) to carry the player's inputted name from the Main Menu directly into the active gameplay scene.

Cross-Session Data Persistence (JSON): Features a fully functional save system using JsonUtility and System.IO. High scores are serialized and written to a local .json file, ensuring data survives even when the application is completely closed and restarted.

Top 5 Dynamic Leaderboard: Implements C# System.Linq to seamlessly zip, sort, and trim player names and scores into a permanent Top 5 Leaderboard displayed on the main menu.

Complete Game Loop: Includes a fully functional UI flow (Menu -> Gameplay -> Win/Loss State -> Menu), complete with a dynamic "Bricks Remaining" win condition.

This is a new repo from the Junior Programmer Pathway for the Data Persistence brick break game. I added new menu, winning message, top 5 leaderboard, scene persistence, name and score persistence etc
